The product of fertile soil and even more fertile imaginations, Two Olive Salsa is a lusty union of voluptuous olives entwined with chiles, roasted garlic and spices. not unlike a Latin lover, it satisfies even the most hedonistic appetites. So let the feast begin…and revel in the earthy pleasure…….

This is one of my all time favorite, soul warming, pronto from the kitchen and no one complains. I make a big batch of this Cacciatori. The recipe is just easy as all hell, loves to be improved on (add more olives, onion, garlic, rosemary, mushrooms, capers, grilled sausage, or take it 100% vegetarian with the addition of grilled eggplant-zucchini-red peppers-mushrooms)…oh, a good slug of red wine takes it over the top ….

Toss the salsa, wine, mushrooms, and cooked chicken together. Either bake in the oven (350 for 30 minutes) or sautee all together……Plate the pasta, put the sauce on top….kiss with fresh grated Parmesan cheese….serve. This is also the perfect leftover food!

This technique, grilling a pizza, is just about the best and only way to cook a pizza. Fresh or a store bought frozen pizza takes on a new life and smokey flavor by grilling. There are tons of techniques on line on how to do this. So, I am going to spare you that one. Look up “grilled pizza” very cool U-Tube videos out there. I like to use our Two Olive Garlic salsa for the base sauce. To that I add some or all of the following: grilled chicken, grilled sausages, chopped or sauteed onions, really, its a blank canvass…..get after it!
